Green Chemical Engineering Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A catalytic chemistry lab that designs catalysts using iron, an element abundant on Earth.
AboutAbout the lab
Moving away from reliance on scarce resources with iron-based catalysts.
The Green Chemical Engineering Group studies the development of catalysts that use iron, an element abundant on Earth.
At a time when resource imbalances and supply constraints are increasingly conspicuous, the group proposes "resource-autonomous catalysis science" as a way to break free of dependence on scarce resources, and is building its scientific foundations and conducting demonstration research.
Because conventional iron catalysts have had problems such as poor stability in air, the group incorporates new material design principles that control metal bonding and electronic states.
The lab's website is shared with the Mizugaki Lab, under the site name "Catalyst Design Group (Mizugaki Lab)."
Key terms
- Resource-autonomous catalysis science
- Catalysis science that aims to break free of dependence on scarce resources and to design and deploy chemical technology on its own initiative, even when resources are limited
- Iron catalyst
- A catalyst based on iron. Conventionally, iron catalysts have been limited in activity, selectivity, and durability, especially stability in air

ResearchResearch themes
Modern chemical technology rests on catalysts and materials that depend on scarce resources, but this lab aims to develop catalysis science that makes it possible to design and deploy chemical technology independently, even when resources are limited. At the center of this effort are iron catalysts, based on iron, which is abundant on Earth, and the lab is building the scientific foundations and conducting demonstration research.
